Could you post a list of the base RGB or HSL/V colors you used for each state?

Hi there, apologies for the late reply!

I'll be updating this to the new color scheme used in the recent expansion to the Star Trek Online MMO, and I'll include the relevant color codes soon.

Cool idea to have the LCARS change colour according to alert status. That's so ingenious I frankly can't believe it hasn't been done before.

Actually, in official TV series and movies from TNG onwards, LCARS color schemes do change during different alert statuses - however, they usually happen in the background, so that's why people tend not to see them on-screen.

Really?

Well, that's as good a reason as any to watch them all again. Thanks

A nice example somebody on Memory Alpha took as a screencap from ST: Nemesis ([link] ) depicting the Enterprise-E's shields failing during the confrontation against Shinzon's ship.

I can't believe I didn't notice that. Thanks for pointing it out.
